Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 0.25 cup whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional for softer dough)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, whey protein isolate, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil and water. If using, you can also add the milk at this step for a softer dough.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until they start to come together into a dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Once kneaded, cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Preheat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, roll each dough ball into a flat circle, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Keep the other dough balls covered while you work to prevent drying.
Once the skillet is hot, place a rolled-out roti onto the dry skillet. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, about 30 seconds.
Flip the roti, and cook for another 30 seconds. Press down lightly with a spatula, if necessary, to help the roti puff up slightly.
Flip again, and cook for an additional 10-15 seconds or until lightly browned with spots on the surface. Remove from heat and keep warm in a cloth-lined container.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve warm with your favorite accompaniment like curry or yogurt.
